DALLAS (1080 KRLD)- Dallas Mayor Eric Johnson has appointed a seven member committee to "investigate and conduct public hearings related to the following matter immediately and to make a full report of its findings to the Mayor and the full City Council as soon as is practicable:
"The circumstances surrounding the decision to allow Dallas Police Department Officer Bryan Riser to remain on active duty after an investigation identified him as a 'person of interest' in connection with two murders in 2017.'"
"This is an awful situation, and the public deserves answers regarding who knew what, when they knew it, and why the officer remained on active duty," the mayor said in a statement to KRLD news.
"I fully expect this committee to get to the bottom of exactly what transpired in a fair, judicious and transparent manner."
